I look at Elliott and these situations and I ask myself 'where are his parents, his friends, his agent' in all of this? This is a young man that had his Dad move to where he was going to college, get's into trouble while in college and continues to get himself in these situations.
What's his agent doing? He could have eventually gotten endorsements because there was doubt about that DV but he keeps damaging himself and his earning potential. on one hand he jumps into that Salvation Army barrel and agrees to match the fine in a donation, doesn't get fined and matches it anyway and then he pays for that young man's funeral and he was video'd playing with kids as a rookie at camp.
This guy is not a bad actor, he might have a drinking problem and be a little spotlight spoiled but he needs someone to help him make better decisions. He needs to get out of that spotlight and understand how to better protect himself form these situations which is best avoided by not putting himself at risk.
Maybe there are people behind the scenes working with him but if there's one team that a guy like Zeke needs to be extra careful in it is this one, which is why I didn't want Manziel. It might not be fair but if you are a Cowboys star, you need to hide a lot. And unfortunately, some really like to see a Cowboys star fall from the sky.
